What better way to start of KWCC than to break out my Silhouette cutter and make a freezer paper stencil? Lovely how the islands of Hawaii lend them self to a great stencil!

I learned a new trick when making the stencil this time around. When placing the freezer paper onto the Silhouette cutting mat, keep the shiny side UP! This made peeling the paper off of the sticky matt easy and there was no tearing. With the shiny side up it will not matter in how you cut the image if your image is symmetrical. But this stencil had a left and a right side so I had to flip the image on my computer so that the islands flowed the correct way.

Here is a copy of the image Hawaii Stencil and here it is flipped Hawaii2

I have succumb to the Silhouette Machine... I have read about it from all of my favorite bloggers and I have now myself taken the plunge! I created this Lego stencil and then used my Silhouette to cut it out. This is defiantly going to enable my addiction to Freezer Paper Stenciling!
